🏎️ No forward bite — spins up, won't drive off the corner
On acceleration the rear just spins instead of driving the car forward.
If the car pulls one way, behaves differently turning left than right, or this started right after a crash, the cause is probably mechanical rather than setup — and no change below will fix it.
Run the 12-minute mechanical check first →Try these in order
Make one change at a time and re-test — that's how you learn what your car likes.
-
1
Increase anti-squat
Makes the rear squat and dig in when you get on the throttle.
-
2
Thicker rear diff fluid
Meters power to the rear tires more smoothly.
-
3
More rear droop
Lets the rear tires stay planted over the bumps under drive.
-
4
Softer rear tire / fresh compound
Mechanical grip where it counts.
-
5
Shift weight rearward
More static load on the driven wheels.
